RAID 0: Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance  RAID Level 0 requires a minimum
of 2 drives to implement |
|
|
Characteristics/Advantages RAID 0 implements a striped
disk array, the data is broken down into blocks and each block is written
to a separate disk drive I/O performance is greatly improved
by spreading the I/O load across many channels and drives Best performance is achieved when data is striped across multiple
controllers with only one drive per controller No parity calculation overhead is involved Very simple design Easy to implement |
|
|
|
Disadvantages Not a "True" RAID because it
is NOT fault-tolerant The failure of just one drive will result
in all data in an array being lost Should never be used in mission critical environments |
